# Fairy Tale Beadwork Mary Lowe Creates Fantasy Wirework Jewelry By Katie Cordrey | Published 2010-03-06 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fantasy-wirework-jewelry References: [hansongalleries](http://www.hansongalleries.com/dynamic/artist.asp?ArtistID=102) Mary Lowe uses [natural stones, pearls, crystal, glass beads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organicinspired-jewelry) and [lampwork sculptural glass flowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/afterglow-1) of her own making to create her fantasy wirework jewelry. Growing up as a Texan fisherman’s daughter, Lowe learned to make fishnets from twine and crab traps from wire. Those early experiences were transformed by the magic of her imagination to become the foundation of Lowe’s fanciful jewelry. Her work has been featured in magazines like Beadwork, Bead Unique and True Gems. Lowe’s fantasy wirework jewelry is available online from Hanson Galleries in Huston Texas.
